That will definitely help alleviate the problem of sucking hot air from the engine and road water.

Was thinking of using some sheet mtel to create a box arpund the filter. Ideally i would seal it up except for the air intake area. First thouvht was to build something similar to the stock box which draws cool air from under the hood except make it larger to house the filter and allow any possible water to run away from the filter.
Any thoughts or comments welcomed.

Well decided to seal the filter inside of the stock air box. Cut the upper lid. Used an airsaw to trim the part were the tube hooks up. This allowed the aftermarket tube to slide through. Used 3m weatherproof tape to seal the small crack around the tube. Took a stock air filter and used the saw to cut the rubber that seals the top and bottom half together. Used 3m ashesive to hold rubber seal in place. Installed filter onto tube and carefully hooked it all together. Checked for leaks and went for a test drive.
First i noticed that the growl was gone. The small gain in power was still there but noise was extremely reduced.
All in all im happy. A lil extra power and can still forde water.
